Automatic physical database design tools rely on "what-if" interfaces to the query optimizer to estimate the execution time of the training query workload under differen...
Spatial query execution is an essential functionality of a sensor network, where a query gathers sensor data within a specific geographic region. Redundancy within a sensor networ...
In this paper, we address the problem of energy-conscious cache placement in wireless ad hoc networks. We consider a network comprising a server with an interface to the wired net...
